< Job 14 >

1 Mihem hinkho hi ichan a lhasam a hitam? Hinkho hi ichanna choma ichanna gentheina dimsetna hitam?
Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 Pahcha bangin ahung pah doh un chule agop lhaji tai, nilim kihei banginamang loi jitai.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 Hitobang bep hinkho lhasam tah thilsem hi namitna navet jing ding hija chule keija konna kahin nikho jat sutoh dinga nei ngeh ham?
Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 Miboh a konna thenna kon apohdoh jou ding ham? Khat chan jong podoh thei ponte.
Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not one!
5 Kahin khou jong achom asau teptohsa nakoi ahin, lha ijat kahin diu ham tijong nahetsa ahi. Chule mitphet kah khat hin be ding jong neiphal peh pouve.
If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, [and] thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,
6 Hijeh chun kachangun nei dalhauvin chule kicholdo tauvinge. Keiho khut thalah tobang kahiuvin hijeh chun lung mongin kana toh u neitoh jou sah un.
Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7 Thingphung jengin jong keinepna tam jo aneiyin kisatlhu jeng ta jong leh hung don thah kit intin, chule abah tamtah hung dondoh kit inte.
For there is hope for a tree: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;
8 Leinoiya ajung ho chu kikhan lhit henlang thi tajongle, chule aphung chu mot tajong leh,
Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,
9 Twi thalhin jallin hungdonthah kit intin akeh thah bangin hung itt hah inte.
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.
10 Ahinlah mihem ho athi teng vangleh athahat nau chemang ji ahitan, ahainau akichai teng leh hoiya umjiu hitam?
But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?
11 Dilla konna twi ahua alen bangin, vadung jong nichangsat teng abeimang jitai.
The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up:
12 Mihem hohi thoukit talou dingin choldo din akilup sah ji'e. Vanho abeihel kah sea amaho thoukit lou ding ahiuve.
So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of their sleep.
13 Nangin lhankhuh a neisol mang ding kanome, chule nalung hanna achemang soh kahsen nei sumil hel jengin, ahinlah nei geldoh kit nadingin nikhosim na a namelchih in, (Sheol h7585)
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me, — (Sheol h7585)
14 Mithi chu hing thei kit ding ham? Chuti ahileh hahsat gentheina kadouna kum ho a hi kinepna nei peh ding ahi. Chule ken thina a kilhadoh ding chu kanga jing ding ahi.
(If a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:
15 Nangin nei kouvin natin chule ken kadonbut ding nahi. Chule nakhut semsa keima neimu nom ding ahi.
Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.
16 Kachonsetna ho jouse navet khella nangin kakal son jousea neihonbit ding ahi.
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 Ka chonsetna jouse sakhao sunga nakhum tup a chule kathemmo na nakhu khum ding ahi.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.
18 Ahinlah molsang ho ahal halla akelhah a akitol lhah khella chule songho kola akitahlhah banga,
And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place;
19 Twijin songho alhoh lhah a chule twisoh in leiset alhoh mang banga chu nangin mihemte kinepna nasuhmang pehji ahi.
The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 Nangin amaho chu hunam in nabol in, chule amun adalha jitauve. Nangin amaho chu thina in nasu melsen chule nasol mang jitai.
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth away; thou changest his countenance, and dismissest him.
21 Achateu atuteu jabol theija khangdoh hinauvem ti amahon ahepha naisai pouvin ahilouleh hetkham louvin a lhum mang jitauve.
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not.
22 Amahon natna nasatah athoh un ahinkhou chu gentheina adimset e.
But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.
